  • Student Absence Notifications via Maxient

    Student Absence Notifications via Maxient

    A new electronic process for delivering student absence notifications is now in place. If a student absence notification request is approved, the student’s faculty will receive a notice via email with a link to the absence memorandum.

    Please note these emails originate from notifications@maxient.com. Student Affairs has worked with ITS to ensure these communications bypass Tech’s email filters so they will not appear in clutter or junk folders. The Maxient emails will contain the following:

      • Subject line “Student Affairs Absence Notification,”

     

      • Body text indicating the emails are official correspondence from the Student Affairs Office, and

     

      Branded with the Student Affairs seal.

    As always, faculty members are welcome to contact the Student Affairs Office at studentaffairs@tntech.edu or 931-372-3411 if they have questions regarding these communications.

    For more information, please visit the Student Absence Notifications page on the Student Affairs website.

  • Tech ASPIRES kicks off April as Sexual Assault Awareness Month with Teal Ribbons

    Tech ASPIRES kicks off April as Sexual Assault Awareness Month with Teal Ribbons

    Tech ASPIRES brings awareness to campus by hanging teal ribbons on Tech’s campus this week. April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month. In 2000, sexual violence coalitions voted to designate the color teal to represent Sexual Assault Awareness Month. The teal ribbon was then adopted as a symbol of awareness and prevention. In addition, the color teal is associated with feelings of trust, devotion, and healing.

    ASPIRES is a federally funded grant program at Tech that addresses sexual assault on Tech’s campus by providing free forensic exams by specially trained registered nurses and comprehensive advocacy services from trained victim advocates. ASPIRES’s vision is a violence-free campus community where victims & survivors of interpersonal trauma feel safe and supported in their healing journey to be empowered to live their healthiest lives.

    ASPIRES Contact Information:
    8:00am-4:30pm, Monday – Friday: 931-372-6566; aspires@tntech.edu
